Each review score is between 1-10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. We use a weighted review system which means that the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. In addition, guests can give separate ‘subscores’ in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money and free Wi-Fi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their overall scores independently, so there’s no direct link between them.
You can review an Accommodation that you booked through our Platform if you stayed there or if you arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise in detecting fake reviews submitted to our Platform. If we find any, we delete them and, if necessary, take action against whoever is responsible.
Anyone else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.
Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include 'hate speech', discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, and the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.
All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.
Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and similar details.
The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.
By default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. Additional sorting options may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

United KingdomThe walk up to the hostel can be a challenge, especially if you have heavy luggage, excluding that, was an absolutely pleasant stay.
Excellent hostel, the lady who runs it (unfortunately forgot her name) is down to earth, and works extremely hard keeping up with the hostel. Extremely clean facilities, 5 minute walk from the nearest beach. Highly recommend.

United KingdomThe hostel is wonderful. It's a beautiful house on a hill, with grape vines lining the path up to it. The owners are really lovely. Jennifer will go out of her way to help you. Those who think she's rude are wrong. Albanian is an aggressive sounding language, and her English isn't brilliant, so she finds other ways to make herself understood. She really is so nice. The view is spectacular. Don't get me wrong, if you're walking up that hill with all your bags in the afternoon sun, you will regret all of your life choices. But once you reach the top - wow! It's as far away from the main strip as it could be, which is nice so you get a bit of exercise.

AlbaniaThe trek up isn't too bad but it's not the closest place from where the bus dropped us - so it is a bit of a walk. It does get super dark at night, but stargazing makes up for it ^^ Although the common area was nice, it is very small so there's not much space to go about around the hostel. Not sure of the other rooms, but in the room we stayed, the top bunks don't have power outlets so keep a powerbank charged and handy :)
Great view of the sunset from the common area, the room was also very comfy. While we stayed there it was relatively quiet but also nice to socialise with other people staying there, not a party hostel by any means so it's also a good place to just unwind.

United StatesNothing. Even the hike up to the hostel was enjoyable.
The breakfast was really good and the price even better. What I loved the most was the view and the people staying there. The host was very nice too and even gave me a ride to the bus stop. Filikuri beach was a fun experience but be careful coming down because a girl died recently trying to go down to the beach.

IrelandThe view was phenomenal, yes it’s a hike up a hill to get there, but it was 100% worth it. The place is still close to town for dinner and to go to the main beach. The host provides brekkie for 4€, absolutely delicious food that seems to have home grown veg (we assumed this because they have their own farm).

Absolutely loved my stay at this hostel! From the moment I arrived, I felt like I was being welcomed into someone's home rather than just checking into a place to sleep. The hosts are truly wonderful—warm, kind, and always happy to help. Their hospitality made the entire atmosphere feel incredibly inviting and relaxed. The facilities were spotlessly clean and very comfortable. I especially appreciated getting a fresh towel every day and clean sheets on a regular basis. Those small touches made a big difference and showed how much care goes into running the place. The rooms and common areas were well-maintained and thoughtfully arranged, creating a cozy and peaceful environment. The price is more than reasonable for everything that’s included. Honestly, I’ve stayed in far more expensive places that offered half the comfort and none of the warmth. The optional breakfast is also a great choice, delicious, filling, and a lovely way to start the day. Another major plus: the public sea is just a short walk away, making it super convenient to enjoy a swim or relax by the water whenever you like. But what truly sets this hostel apart is the way the hosts make you feel. They treat every guest like they’re a special part of the family, and that kind of genuine care is rare to find. I left feeling rested, cared for, and full of good memories. I can’t recommend this place enough!

GermanyAs the name already indicates the hostel sits on the hill. The views were amazing and it was worth it for my short stay but the pretty steep walk wasn’t for me especially with luggage and during the hot days. I was always lucky that at some point someone gave me a ride as they saw me walking up. I also hired a scooter and driving up and down that hill is quite tricky/dangerous. The „bus station“ is at least a 30min walk from to the hostel and not 10-15min as the owners says in the messages.
Cozy and nice hostel with an amazing with. The dorms had its own kitchen and bathroom. It was spacious and clean. You get a towel and there are big lockers for your stuff. The owner is an old lady who was really nice. The communication is quite difficult in English but at one point it worked out. I had to take the bus at 5:30 am to Tirana. She was so kind to drive me there.

GermanyI had a fantastic stay here! The hostel was very clean, quiet, and the whole place is beautifully maintained. The view is absolutely breathtaking, one of the highlights of my trip. It’s super peaceful, perfect for relaxing. The way up to the hostel is a bit challenging, but definitely doable. With a suitcase, I’d recommend taking a taxi. Yala, the owner, is incredibly kind and helpful. She always made sure everything was okay and asked if I needed anything. She really cares about her guests. Filikuri Beach is just a 10–15 minute walk away, and it’s definitely worth the short hike! I spent four amazing nights here and would definitely come back. Highly recommended!
